Doctor Of Optometry political contributions from Montana

Doctor Of Optometry and Montana as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation DOCTOR OF OPTOMETRY and donor state MT produce $195,233, 643 contributions, and 52 donors. The occupation hub is $5,866,385, 21,990 contributions, and 1,912 donors.

OPTOMETRIST, OD, and EYE DOCTOR, if used, sit in other hubs. The Arizona Doctor Of Optometry tie is another state filter; do not add those dollars to Montana. Do not stack DOCTOR OF OPTOMETRY with OPTOMETRIST or the Arizona Doctor Of Optometry tie into a single Montana professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

52 Montana donors produced 643 contributions, about 12.4 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 11.5 rows per donor nationally (21,990 contributions from 1,912 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Montana cell is about $304, against about $267 nationwide. Montana’s about 3.3% share of $5,866,385 is a high-frequency professional slice, not a handful of large checks.

DOCTOR OF OPTOMETRY as a credential-style string

DOCTOR OF OPTOMETRY is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify an OD license in Montana or any other state. The words on the form are the filter. The $5,866,385 national total is DOCTOR OF OPTOMETRY only. 1,912 donors produced 21,990 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 21,990 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Montana (MT). One thousand nine hundred twelve national donors make this a many-person bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state MT.

Montana on the state side

52 Montana donors produced 643 contributions totaling $195,233. Donor state MT is the address on the record, not proof of a Montana license, and not a limit to Montana candidates. MT is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Montana OD license, and not a map of which campaigns received the $195,233.

The Montana campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MT. This join is only DOCTOR OF OPTOMETRY. The Doctor Of Optometry occupation hub without Montana still holds about 96.7% of the $5,866,385. Montana’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to MT. DOCTOR OF OPTOMETRY is only this filter.

What the Montana optometry join is not

This page does not count licensed ODs, merge Arizona’s cell, or claim that Doctor Of Optometry-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. DOCTOR OF OPTOMETRY is not PHYSICIAN and not OPTOMETRIST even when filers meant the same clinic.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. DOCTOR OF OPTOMETRY is not a licensing-board extract. Donor state MT is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. License numbers are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Montana filter

Subtract the Montana dollars on this page from the national DOCTOR OF OPTOMETRY occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded DOCTOR OF OPTOMETRY in every other state combined. That remainder ($5,671,152) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-state total; the state internal link holds every occupation with this state code; the occupations index and the ties index place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count of 52 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count of 643 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $195,233 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Montana dollars, or only the DOCTOR OF OPTOMETRY national total, drops a key. Fifty-two donors producing 643 contributions totaling $195,233 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.
